And there are no pre-existing conditions or upcharges in ACA. No one can be denied. Except that there are, and you can. And anyone who is upcharged will just not finish the application. So we are manufacturing a giant adverse selection problem.

I don't think "the state" has a real collective consciousness capable of appreciating irony.

She's just a very bad leader in a democracy that values transparency.
